Rumbuoy Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Does anyone know when the Trumpeter 1/350 model of HMS Warspite is to be released? Cheers Dexs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I think it's due very soon, perhaps the next month or so. Personally I'd get the Academy special edition Warspite as it has everything you need to make a superb model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumbuoy Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Good idea Dave, I have not built any Academy kits so this is the perfect opportunity to try one of them out. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) Great kit The Academy is. Am building it at the moment, near completion, used the Pontos add on. I am sure you will enjoy it, she is a very good build. Edited December 18, 2012 by foxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second this, I bought one Telford, on the spur of the moment, as Dave says it's got the lot in the box, as it's going to be my first 1/350 there's enough extras to take it to another level without having so much PE that it seems daunting to make. One thing though, on another site someones made one and the Brass 16'' barrels don't seem to fit on the kit blast sheilds that well, I see in the prontos PE kit these are resin parts. Anyone built one and found this. Edited November 23, 2012 by colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) Hi Colin. I am doing a build here of the Warspite(1/350 Academy). I have/am useing all of the Pontos add on. The resin sleeves are very accurate and the Brass guns fit very well. I started this on the ModelWarship.com forum, which is run from the USA, as you can imagine it is well used, so the reason for showing here on a British run forum.

I've never had a problem with metal barrels replacing plastic ones and the last Academy limited edition kit I built, DKM Graf Spee, everything fitted perfectly and it was a dream build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Scott Van Aken's done a preview on Modeling Madness. Joseph Edited December 5, 2012 by JosephLalor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
